"Haha~~" Wang Jian smiled and said nothing as he saw Wang Li running away with his head in his arms.
After a while, Wang Li approached Wang Jian again and said, "Uncle, Zhao Si would like to borrow the books at home to take a look."
Wang Jian was stunned and thought for a long time: "The friend you brought home before?"
Wang Li took Zhao Si out of the camp several times and went to Wang Li's home, but it was not his hometown.
But Wang Jian knew such a thing, and he also knew that Zhao Si was one of the boys who returned from the sea and was friends with his grandson.
"Well, your Majesty gave you the books "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms". Zhao Si likes it very much and wants to borrow the books at home." Wang Li nodded and spoke.
"My eldest father is old. Your father is not at home. It is you who have the final say in matters at home." Old Wang Jian leaned on the bed and said comfortably.
"How could I not tell my eldest father?" Wang Li scratched his head and smiled.
"Besides, how can I be considered old, eldest father? I just hit you, and it still hurts now." Wang Li said amusedly with a smile.
Wang Jian laughed slightly contentedly when he heard this.
Then he reluctantly straightened up, waved, and signaled Wang Li to come to him and said, "Tell me about Zhao Si."
It's not that Wang Jian doesn't have access to information, it's just that he's getting older and doesn't pay attention to many things anymore and doesn't bother to listen to them.
He knew very little about Zhao Si.
In other words, if Zhao Si was not Wang Li's friend and had been invited to Wang Li's home several times, Wang Jian might not have Zhao Si in his memory at all.
To live up to the king's orders and stay in the emperor's heart, it is all vain to Wang Jian. He has achieved the ultimate goal of serving as a minister and retired. Even at the age of more than 70 years old, he is already regarded as a living person, let alone Zhao Si now has a bright future. Even if Zhao Si achieves the ultimate goal of being a good minister, even Zuo Prime Minister Li Si will not have the slightest concern for Wang Jian who has now completely retired.
After the battle against Chu, Wang Jian and the First Emperor took the initiative to settle their differences.
From then on, nothing in the entire Great Qin Empire could touch the behemoth Wang Jian, the living Marquis of Che.
Wang Li nodded and gave a rough description.
After all, they were good brothers. Wang Li's descriptions of Zhao Si were mostly positive, and the praise he gave Zhao Si was that he was a wise and powerful person.
Zhao Si's external conditions are not bad, he is tall and strong, and he is approachable. Although his speech and behavior are occasionally inappropriate, they are not offensive. Wang Li's feelings for Zhao Si Very positive.
Wang Jian heard Wang Li's comments and didn't pay too much attention.
What he is more immersed in is the pure friendship between young people and the high-spiritedness and eclecticism unique to young people.
As for Wang Li’s high praise? Wang Jian has received a lot of praise.
He has also met countless young people who have received higher evaluations. In other words, as a standing prince, Wang Jian has seen countless rising stars. Zhao Si, who was extremely beautified by Wang Li, is not even ranked among those people.
The only thing that concerned Wang Jian was the First Emperor's attitude towards Zhao Si.
The First Emperor ate and drank with him, and also gave him the books "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms".
Wang Jian knew that "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms" were the first emperor's favorite articles.
When Han Fei's "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms" spread to Xianyang, the First Emperor was greatly impressed after watching it. He even publicly expressed his admiration for Han Fei and went to great lengths to get Han Fei over.
Although Han Fei passed away later, "Xianxue" and "Five Worms" were still the favorite books of the First Emperor. It can be said that these two books are also a reflection of the First Emperor's thoughts in a sense.
The First Emperor was able to drink and eat with Zhao Si, and even gave him books such as "Xianxue" and "Five Worms". It is self-evident that he was close to Zhao Si.
In comparison, the various advantages of Zhao Si described by Wang Li turned out to be extremely trivial.
Whether it's leading soldiers to fight, or serving as an official and administering government, these can all be learned gradually, even if they are mediocre.
Only being close to the king is the most important and rarest thing that can be encountered but not sought.
Wang Jian could barely be regarded as being close to the king, but that was what he had earned in his entire life.
As for Prime Minister Zuo Li Si, I am afraid that he will never have the chance to get close to the king in this life.
The same is true for his son Wang Bi!
Nowadays in Da Qin, there are really not many people who can be said to be close to the king, and only Meng Yi of the younger generation can barely be considered.
We travel together when we go out, and we ride together when we go out. Meng Yi is responsible for the itinerary planning and vehicle configuration of each tour, and no one can interfere.
Meng Yi wrote a letter asking for the execution of Zhao Gao. The First Emperor did not agree, but afterwards he specially enlightened Meng Yi. It is obvious that he had great faith in Meng Yi.
Although Meng Yi's current official position is not a very popular minister, even the Left Prime Minister Li Si has to discuss many things with him and even ask Meng Yi for his opinion.
It can be said that the current Meng Yi was originally brought by the First Emperor to be trained as a future leader.
Getting close to the king is easier said than done!
Moreover, Meng Yi did not gain the trust of the First Emperor at the beginning. He spent a long time as a Langguan beside the First Emperor. By virtue of his business ability and unparalleled loyalty, he gradually gained the Emperor's closeness.
The First Emperor rarely expressed his closeness to a person within a short period of contact, and it could even be said that it was almost never.
This may be related to the unfriendly life experiences of the First Emperor in his childhood and at the beginning of his succession to the throne.
In short, the last time I saw someone who showed obvious affection towards the First Emperor shortly after I met him was a long, long time ago.
That person's name is Li Xin!
Zhao Si met the First Emperor for the first time, but he got close to him. This... is extremely rare!
"Has Zhao Si ever studied?" Wang Jian asked after pondering for a moment.
"No, I had to help him read through "Xianxue" and "Five Worms", but he read it very quickly. He could read through the article after a few times." Wang Li replied.
"No need to borrow it. I will make a copy of all the Legalist books at home and give them to you." Wang Jian decided.
"Okay!" Zaimai Tian didn't feel bad. Anyway, it was his eldest father who made the decision, and he was his good brother on the other side.
"Are you and Zhao Si friends with each other?" Wang Jian asked again.
"Yes! This man is quite elegant and informal in his actions..." Wang Li was still boasting, but Wang Jian fell into deep thought.
"In that case, you can pick some singers and dancers from home to give as gifts." Wang Jian said.
"No, Zhao Si hasn't settled down yet..." Wang Li waved his hand.
"Then we'll send the house along with it. Since we haven't settled down yet, we'll send some servants there as well." Wang Jian stroked his beard and spoke slowly.
"Ah?" Wang Li was surprised.
My eldest father was a little too generous today.
"Forget it, I'll send someone to take care of this matter. Once it's settled, you can talk about it later." Wang Jian guessed that his grandson couldn't hold back his nonsense, and he would probably have to deal with these trivial matters like crazy. Fortunately, he didn't even I didn’t count on Wang Li.
The Wang family has a big business. As long as Wang Li doesn't mess around, he will have the most professional talents to help him handle everything.
